Ayrisa And Her Story
HLW 02 - Old Friends

Nine o'clock in the morning and he was still lounging at the dinner table with a plate of breakfast, actually very late to be called breakfast. However, because she only woke up at half-eight, so Ayrisa forced herself to eat breakfast when her stomach protested asking for intake.

Alone in the dining room, the mother was in the family room to watch television. The event displayed at this hour is so awaited by the mother, which is a cooking event hosted by a chef who was once a judge in a major cooking event.

Because it is a semester break like this, Ayrisa so no activity other than lazing at home. He will only come out when someone asks him to walk, it is rare. So, he relied heavily on Aspen on their weekly nights.

Speaking of that, their Sunday night show three days ago was quite fun.

Being on the beach with a super moon that is getting higher along with the night is getting late. The waves that become a natural musical accompaniment when occasionally heard the sound of crickets. Himself and Aspen sat down side by side while enjoying a snack brought by the man in his basket.

It's more like a night picnic. And Ayrisa likes it.

Aspen ideas for their Sunday night activities have always succeeded in making Ayrisa add a lot of memory about them. Once, just one month after their engagement, Aspen took her to a music fest in the suburbs. They came home late that day, making Nephra wait for them on the porch with mosquito bites.

Once also for some time in a row they visited the night market near the town square. Every time they go there they will try one game offered there, then try the five-foot snacks they meet.

Drrt. drr..

His nostalgic activities were stalled by the shakes of the cell phone lying beside his plate. The name of a friend who appeared on the dark screen made him suddenly round his eyes. Then immediately grabbed the flat object to receive the incoming call.

"Reylin jeez! Kangen!" He immediately exclaimed happily after sticking the phone to his ear.

"Gue also misses you!"

"I thought you changed the number because there's no profile picture anymore."

"Gosh, I won't. It's a historic number in my life, I won't change" Reylin replied across the street. "That's no profile photo gegara I males nyari photo after a month full profile using twibbon ospek. Too late so yeah don't have to install it first, uh, yearnya kesusan."

"Worse you, Re, a year like that. Make me overthinking it."

"Yes, sorry. By the way lo now again a holiday too, right?"

"Yes. There's still a month left."

"Good, the same means. I'm here again, just landed yesterday. Want to meet?"

"Here you mean you're in this town?!"

"Yes, dear Ayrisaku. I'm here until the end of the month, spending my semester here."

"You're meeting!"

"Yes, yes, this is why I. Will you have an appointment later this afternoon?"

"Nothing. Totally free till this holiday ends."

"We met at our old High School deket mall, how? I want to see this new movie, Margot."

"Can, can. What time do you want?"

"Let's see the schedule in the cinema first."

Their chatter paused for a moment, and Ayrisa waited patiently until Reylin made a sound again.

"There, but half a five. Are you okay at that hour?"

"Could, really. Now I'm more free if I want to go anywhere, so it's safe."

"Well, this home-grown child has transformed, yes," Reylin said, ending with a small laugh.

"I thought I was a renovated house like in tivi-tivi what, transformed everything." Ayrisa shook her head small. "It's gonna fix the meeting at what time?"

"Ten minutes before the clock was there. We'll meet at the cinema."

"Okay, okay."

"If you see you soon, Ay!"

After Ayrisa replied briefly, their phone connection was terminated.

"Bun," he called slowly to make Dara immediately turn her head, only briefly and then look back at the television screen.

"What's up, Ay?"

"Later in the afternoon I'm out, yeah. Play with temen. You remember Reylin, right? Now he's here again."

"Your ten-year ten year old was, right?"

"Yes, Bun, that one."

"God, now where is he going to college?"

"Submit there too, Bun. Come here for the semester break."

"Yes Mother has permission. You haven't seen that in a long time."

"Thank you, Bun."

...·୨୧·...

Regardless of the few people who were also around the front of the cinema, Ayrisa and Reylin embraced like Teletubbies and called out to each other how much they missed each other. Just met after three years, who can resist longing? Moreover, the last year of their togetherness was so fun.

"It's still unexpected to finally meet you again, Re," Ayrisa said after their embrace unraveled. His hands were raised to remove the wet spot at the end of his eyes.

"Gue too, Ay. It's actually the most year-long semester vacation because I finally got to go alone gini."

"So you came here by yourself, not your family?"

"Yes, I'm on my own. It was here that I lived together at my Papa's Aunt's house" Reylin replied. "Oh yeah, almost forgot. I came here with my cousin. No, don't you, Ay? Name—"

"Kalin?" Ayrisa interjected as she recognized the man standing not far behind Reylin.

"Lho, you know my cousin, Ay?"

"We're one major, even a classmate." Now the man whose full name is Kalindra Haga Andhika replied. While taking a slow step to stand beside Reylin.

"It turns out the world is as narrow as the leaves of Moringa emang." Reylin looked at Ayrisa and her cousin in turn. "I don't have to waste my voice trying to get to know you guys again. Come on, come straight in! I'm afraid I'm running out of tickets, huh."

Reylin immediately pulled Ayrisa's hand to enter the cinema together. Kalin followed in small steps, did not get in line and let the two girls buy tickets. Moreover, if not for the forcing of his cousin to drive and accompany him, he would have preferred to be in the room all day to play dota.

The two girls came back to him standing in front of a horror movie poster, carrying a medium-sized popcorn with a chocolate flavor and three bottles of soda. Kalin received it when a bottle of soda was thrust on him.

"We can go straight to the theater. This is your ticket" Reylin said.

Then they entered theater number three. Ayrisa and Reylin were in the lead, while Kalin followed behind lazily.

The seats chosen by them are in the middle, a strategic position to watch in the cinema.

"Gue tip yes, Ay. You are the middle."

"Yes, Re. Anywhere I am, mah."

And so their sitting position if mentioned is Kalin, Ayrisa, the new Reylin who sits on the fifth bench from the end.

The film begins not long after, the room has lost its light.

Kalin again stared at the big screen in front of him lazily. Too much pink. The two girls next to him were wearing pink clothes.

Uncovered the bottle of soda, then gulped it down a few times. Kalin turned to look at his cousin as well as his classmate who was focused on looking ahead.

He might not realize if he looked too long, so Ayrisa who was sitting right next to him turned his head. The girl gave a questionable look that Kalin could not catch because of the lack of light.

"You?" Ayrisa thrust popcorn in front of the man to offer.

"Nope, thank you."

"okay." Not paying much heed to her, Ayrisa again placed the popcorn between herself and Reylin and focused on watching.
